Providing NEW socks to homeless youth, adults and marginally housed individuals:
- NEW socks are one of the most needed items of clothing for charities, however one of the least donated.
- Socks are needed year round. They protect from the elements and keep feet warm, clean and dry - and also provide dignity and represent one of the most basic necessities of life.
- Just Socks Foundation (Registered Charitable #: 836278176RR0001) was created to help reduce this gap and keep Canadians in clean new socks year round.
Just Socks is raising funds for new sock donations to give to our partners – registered Canadian charities serving homeless and marginally housed in Canada.
